Two faves this time around: HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE (zany plot, offbeat humor), and GIRLS, DRUMS, AND DANGEROUS PIE, which, as Frank McCourt says, is a "brave book...Sonnenblick carries it off with such charm and élan, you forget for a moment your heart is breaking."

well, i read while i walk on the treadmill at night. it's what i do instead of watching tv 'cause i'm lame like that.

i wish i knew your taste a little better. hmmmn...

fiction: i loved LORD OF THE RINGS (which should occupy most of your two weeks), but you've probably already read that.

HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY is totally pointless, but you'll love it if oddball humor is your thing. then again, this title has been popular since i was about three or something, so you've likely read that too.

LOOKING FOR ALASKA by john green is good.

and i'm in the middle of a book that (so far) is fab: SKULDUGGERY PLEASANT (derek landy). i'm thinking that since you liked harry potter and spiderwick, chances are good you'll enjoy this one, too.

narrative nonfic? well, i'd say either SEX GOD (rob bell), SPEAKING MY MIND (tony campolo), or GRACE EVENTUALLY (anne lamott--i don't line up with all of her theology, but all of her books are fantastic reads).

Hey, psst...I know this has nothing to do with books, which by the way I don't know how you read on the treadmill... Hmm... maybe I just bob my head too much. Anyway, wanted to tell you that either your memory has deceived you or your ears, but I don't remember singing that well.

By the way, I've been reading Nursing Care of Infants and Children--I recommend it if you are stuck on an island for a whole year with nothing to do, no one to talk to, and nothing to eat. See you in May!!

I read every single book Anne Rice wrote when I was in college (89 - 93) . I was a huge GOTH back then... LOL! How are you liking "Interview"? I have not ventured to read that other chick's (what's her face) vampire books because I fear they will never compare the THE QUEEN. ;)
